1. This is Crack!
When it comes to bizarre political stunts we have to begin with the time President George H W Bush waved a huge bag of crack cocaine while sitting behind the Resolute desk. In an effort to get the public behind his increasing war on drugs, the 41st president of the United States decided he needed a prop to really get his point across.
Where did he get such a big bag of illicit drugs you might ask? It turns out that bag was acquired just a few days earlier in a park directly across from the White House. The Bush administration would admit later that they had set up a sting operation to lure drug dealers into that park so the President could have his prop for his show-and-tell.
